A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Open biodiversity records for Powell River Regional District list sockeye salmon, Coho salmon, rainbow trout and Chum salmon.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. Access is unmapped, which usually means a farm track and a walk. Trout here take small spinners, spoons and, where fly water allows, a nymph or dry. Provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. High Falls Lake sits 1.4 km off and takes the overflow. Check the current arrangement for Cup Lake.
